Guillermo Francos confirmed that the Government will not promote extraordinary sessions for the debate on the 2025 Budget
In radio statements, the Chief of Staff referred to the next objectives of the libertarian administration, with the Budget debate marking the near horizon of the official agenda. In this framework, Francos stated: “We have no urgency for the Budget to be approved.”
“We believe that it would be a good institutional sign for the National Congress to approve it, but if it does not, we will continue with the extension of the current budget“confirmed the official.
Regarding the debate that may take place in the Legislative Branch, the official assured that the Government is “open to listening to proposals” presented by the legislators of the different political forces. However, Francos set a limit for the debate on the project: “as long as they do not modify what is a fundamental issue, which is the fiscal balance“.
In this sense, Francos maintained that “if that doesn’t change and they need to make some changes“Nation could access modifications”if it increases to any partya” and it is clarified to “which one they decrease.”
Regarding the future of the ruling party, the official assured that within the Government they have “an enormous conviction that the path chosen is giving quite impressive results, which were foreseeable.” In addition, he stressed that “the results were going to come” and justified that they are occurring. Despite this, the Chief of Staff was cautious and added: “We have to talk about the medium and long term, it is not from one day to the next“.
Finally, he referred to the “praise” they received from former president Mauricio Macri who said that Milei is doing “a miracle” and that what is happening in Argentina “has a direction.” “Macri has been critical in some aspects, supporting the Government’s positions, but he has been critical. That it makes such an express, so explicit acknowledgment of the results obtained, seems important to me.“he concluded.
After criticism of Raúl Alfonsín, Javier Milei will receive the radical governors
President Milei will receive the five provincial heads of the Radical Civic Union (UCR) at the Casa Rosada with the aim of add support for the treatment of the 2025 Budget in Congress. It will be the third meeting of this type organized by the President, who has already received provincial leaders, wayward Peronists, the PRO and allies in recent weeks.
The agenda indicates that the meeting will be a lunch and will be attended by Francos and the Secretary of the Interior, Lisandro Catalán, institutionally responsible for the link with the districts. As detailed to this medium, the talk will be open although the Budget will take center stage.
In this way, willing to take the negotiations for the “law of laws“, Milei will have lunch with Alfredo Cornejo (Mendoza), Gustavo Valdés (Corrientes), Leandro Zdero (Chaco), Carlos Sadir (Jujuy) and Maximiliano Pullaro (Santa Fe).
Despite an improvement in harmony between both sectors, radical leaders will be present at Casa Rosada with a series of demands similar to those raised by other political spaces. Among them, the requests for the debts with pension fundsthe need for reactivate and finalize the transfer of public works agreed and the cutting various items. Also, they will show their discontent with the fight by the financing of national universities.
Beyond recognizing Milei’s gesture to talk face to face – something that did not happen until weeks ago -, moderation reigned among the leaders. “There is nothing prior and low expectations“, they admitted in the orbit of a radical chief before the Ámbito consultation. At the same time, they relativized the conclave: “They were Peronists and from the PRO, it was logical that the radicals were next.”
Apart from the claims already mentioned, the provincial heads They once again demanded that the Nation advance in the sharing of the fuel tax. “Only 10.4% come to the provinces. The rest goes to the Nation. Therefore, if the pension funds are not going to be paid today and 35% of the fuel tax goes to the Nation“We ask that it go to a shareable mass, as happens with the check tax,” protested days ago Valdés from Corrientes when inaugurating the technical tables of the brand new Litoral Region.
